Highlight of Current Activities (2)
Citizen-to-Authority (E911)
• Focus on NG911 (e.g., NGN/IMS and Location Parameter
Acquisition, Conveyance Architecture, and Protocols) and various
near term/legacy matters (e.g., routing number administration for
VoIP and wireless)
Authority-to-Citizen (EAS, CMAS, ENS)
• Focus on emergency notification standards support for various
technologies:
– IPTV EAS requirements and metadata
– Wireless CMAS functions and interfaces:
• Common aspects (i.e., Gov-to-Service Provider [gateway-to-gateway] interface,
and mobile device behavior) done in collaboration with TIA
• GSM/UMTS specific aspects
– Wireline ENS best practices
Authority-to-Authority (ETS)
• Focus on ETS for NGN and VoIP (incremental standards and
standards changes)
3
Strategic Direction
• Work in response to regulatory mandates and statutory
changes
• Work proactively to support Public Safety needs
• Focus on regional needs (North America) and in coordination
with global directions
• Coordinate/collaborate with other organizations where
appropriate (e.g., TIA, ITU, IETF, NENA, etc.)
4
Challenges
• Working at the nexus where law, regulation, technology, and
standards come together
• Delivering standards to satisfy aggressive regulatory
mandate target dates such that reliable implementations can
be deployed (per target dates)
• Regarding E911, the NG911 standards can get far ahead of
deployments given that there are 6,000+ PSAPs and there
are generally different deployment timeframes
• Regarding CMAS, mass deployment issues and possible
resulting impacts on standards (i.e., alert aggregation,
system upgrades, testing, human behavior, etc.)
• Regarding ETS, providing priority routing/processing for data
services (e.g., messaging, email, etc.)
5
Next Steps/Actions
• Complete currently defined work program
• Continue appropriate changes to current standards suite
• Continue to proactively support Public Safety stakeholder
needs
• Respond (at appropriate time) to additional FCC regulations
(e.g., regarding NG911)
• Continue with cross-organizational coordination and
collaboration
• Continue with Emergency Services Coordination Workshops
(Citizen-to-Authority)

Overview of Emergency
Communications Work in ATIS
ATIS committee work is in support of initiatives by:
• FCC/Federal government
• Regional/State governments and
• Local governments
ATIS committees also act as a feeder group to the ITU-T in
support of international general emergency communication
services
9
ATIS Involvement with FCC – CMAS
• Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commercial
Mobile Service Alert Advisory Committee (CMSAAC)
– ATIS is a member of the FCC advisory committee, which held its first
meeting in December 2006
– Mission is to develop recommendations on technical standards and
protocols to facilitate the ability of commercial mobile service
providers to voluntarily transmit emergency alerts to their subscribers
– ATIS is also a member of the CMSAAC Alerting Gateway Group
(AGG) and an observer on the Communications Technology Group
(CTG)
• Recent ATIS Filing with the FCC regarding CMAS:
– Ex Parte presentation to the FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland
Security Bureau discussing the ATIS-led standards development work
related to implementing a commercial mobile alert system
10
Committee/Forum Mission/Scope
• Emergency Services Interconnection Forum (ESIF): The mission of
ESIF is to provide a forum to facilitate the identification and resolution of
technical and/or operational issues related to the interconnection of
wireline, wireless, cable, satellites, Internet and emergency services
networks.
– http://www.atis.org/esif
• Industry Numbering Committee (INC): INC is a standing committee of
the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) that
provides an open forum to address and resolve industry-wide issues
associated with planning, administration, allocation, assignment and use
of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) numbering resources
within the NANP area.
– http://www.atis.org/inc/index.asp
• IPTV Interoperability Forum (IIF): The IIF enables the interoperability,
interconnection, and implementation of IPTV systems/services by
developing ATIS standards and facilitating related technical activities.
This forum will place an emphasis on North American and ATIS Member
Company needs in coordination with other regional and international
standards development organizations.
– http://www.atis.org/iif/index.asp
11
Committee/Forum Mission/Scope
• Network Interconnection Interoperability Forum (NIIF): NIIF provides
an open forum to encourage the discussion and resolution, on a
voluntary basis, of industry-wide issues associated with
telecommunications network interconnection and interoperability which
involve network architecture, management, testing and operations and
facilitates the exchange of information concerning these topics.
– http://www.atis.org/niif/index.asp
• Network Performance, Reliability, & QoS Committee (PRQC): PRQC
Develops and recommends standards related to the performance,
reliability, and associated security aspects of communications networks,
as well as the processing of voice, audio, data, image, and video signals,
and their multimedia integration.
– http://www.atis.org/0010/index.asp
12
Committee/Forum Mission/Scope
• Packet Technologies and Systems Committee (PTSC): Mission Develops and recommends standards related to services, architectures,
and signaling, in addition to related subjects under consideration in other
North American and international standards bodies.
– http://www.atis.org/0191/index.asp
• Telecom Management and Operations Committee (TMOC): TMOC
develops operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning
standards, and other documentation related to Operations Support
System (OSS) and Network Element (NE) functions and interfaces for
communications networks - with an emphasis on standards development
related to U.S.A. communication networks in coordination with the
development of international standards.

13
Committee/Forum Mission/Scope
• Wireless Technologies and Systems Committee (WTSC): WTSC
develops and recommends standards and technical reports related to
wireless and/or mobile services and systems, including service
descriptions and wireless technologies. WTSC develops and
recommends positions on related subjects under consideration in other
North American, regional and international standards bodies.
